Free Web NovelChapter 1054: Chapter 1053: Professor Bo, You Don’t Remember Me?
Gu Anxi also saw it but didn’t say a word.
At this moment, Old Wang spoke again: "Anxi, you go along too, didn’t you grow up with this Miss Shen?"
Gu Anxi smiled lightly, "Sure."
Her straightforwardness made Shen Wanqing immediately defensive; "Gu Anxi, what do you mean?"
Gu Anxi crossed her arms in front of her, "You seem very afraid, are you scared that everyone here will hurt you or something, if you’re scared it’s better to let the big uncle keep you outside, otherwise you have to live in this big house, after all besides me there are others as well, many opportunities to hurt you."
After speaking, she gave Old Wang a glance with a seemingly indifferent smile.
Old Wang’s old face was as stern as water, he departed with his two sons first.
After the men left, the Wang family’s second sister-in-law smiled and took Shen Wanqing’s hand: "We’re all family now, why talk about harming or not harming? In the past, we surely sided with the eldest sister-in-law, but now that she and the eldest brother are divorced, naturally we’re family now. Wanqing, just relax and stay here to nurture your pregnancy properly, try to give birth to a son for the elder brother. Once the old man’s mouth loosens, you will be the legitimate eldest young mistress of our Wang family."
Shen Wanqing smiled weakly, "You’re teasing me again."
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law stroked her hand, "Who is teasing you? Given your looks, even if I were the elder brother, I would choose you."
Turning around, she said, "Anxi, you take her to the room. I’ll find her some pajamas."
Gu Anxi smiled lightly, "Alright."
She was familiar with the place, leading Shen Wanqing to a guest room on the first floor. The room’s decor was somewhat hotel-like, and it wasn’t new, not like a girl would live there, leaving Shen Wanqing feeling a bit disappointed.
Wasn’t she pregnant? Yet no one really cared.
Gu Anxi walked to the window and pulled open the curtains, turned around, with a semblance of a smile.
Shen Wanqing felt uncomfortable, "Gu Anxi, why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Anxi smiled a bit, "That Ah Liang, you bribed him, right?"
A hint of unease crossed Shen Wanqing’s face, she clutched her skirt and sat down on the sofa, "I don’t understand what you mean."
"Gave him ten thousand, tried to lure Wang Kefu’s wife, wasn’t that you?" Gu Anxi laughed softly, "Can’t tell, but you do have some brains."
Shen Wanqing was highly defensive, "Then what do you want, tell Wang Kefu?"
"I’m not that idle." Gu Anxi leaned on the sofa armrest with one hand, tilted her head slightly, fixing her gaze on Shen Wanqing until Shen Wanqing was unnerved, then she slowly spoke, "I don’t care how you steal men, but I must tell you one thing, don’t mess with the child. Otherwise, if my big uncle can spare you, I won’t."
Shen Wanqing was terrified, but she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, "Gu Anxi, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"You understand. You understand too well." A cold smile appeared on Gu Anxi’s lips, "As I said, your child is human, other people’s children are human too."
Shen Wanqing blurted out: "That child has no blood relation to you either."
"Yours doesn’t either." Gu Anxi laughed lightly, "Don’t harbor the foolish thought that harming the child will grant your child a double inheritance. If something happens, I assure you won’t get a penny, so not only can’t you harm him, but you must also protect him with your money and effort."
Shen Wanqing was furious, she has been suppressed by Gu Anxi all along, even now when she has achieved status via her child, she’s being threatened and lectured. But she endured it, raising her chin slightly, "Well, thank you for the reminder."
Gu Anxi spoke calmly, "Take care of yourself."
She glanced around, "This place is not where you can come and go lightly, my big uncle might like you today, but he could easily favor another girl tomorrow."
"I have a child."
Gu Anxi chuckled again, "Didn’t my big aunt also have a child?"
Shen Wanqing was very displeased, "Are you cursing me?"
"A kind reminder. Normally, I don’t meddle but considering Aunt Chen." Gu Anxi smiled confidently, and as she was about to say more, the Wang family’s second sister-in-law came over with pajamas and, seeing them chatting, said with a delighted smile, "It must be the bond formed growing up together, different from others."
Gu Anxi just smiled faintly, slightly meaningful.
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law coughed lightly, "By the way, Xichen came to pick you up."
Gu Anxi checked the time; it was already eleven at night. She immediately got up and walked out.
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law smiled, "This child, left her things behind."
With that, she picked up the phone and was about to follow, Shen Wanqing immediately said, "I’ll go."
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law smiled, "Fine."
Shen Wanqing, clutching her phone, hurriedly walked out. She wanted to meet... Professor Bo.
She wanted to see what kind of expression he would have while looking at her. Now she was the Wang family’s daughter-in-law, and overall she was closer to them... She still remembers last year on Maple Mountain when she saw Professor Bo stepping out of his car, a moment of awe.
She walked briskly while the Wang family’s second sister-in-law softly said behind her, "Be careful, pregnant woman."
But Shen Wanqing was eager, and she didn’t hear.
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law looked towards the door and smiled.
In the hall, Bo Xichen sat leisurely on the sofa waiting for Gu Anxi, the soft light illuminated his face, his profile charming, Gu Anxi almost bounced over, throwing herself onto him, "Little Uncle, you came to pick me up."
He reached out and gave her a pat, smiling: "Were you planning not to return if I didn’t come? We’ve only been married for a few days."
She felt a little embarrassed, burying her small face in his shoulder: "Just a little something happened."
Bo Xichen was about to ask when that little issue arrived, bringing along a phone.
Bo Xichen looked at Shen Wanqing, somewhat surprised, though not entirely.
Compared to his calm demeanor, Shen Wanqing seemed rather like someone newly rich, feeling she had solidified her position as the young madam of the Wang Family, capable of conversing with Professor Bo. She glanced at Gu Anxi, who was still clinging to Professor Bo, and then looked a few more times, with a touch of disapproval in her eyes, before softly and gently calling out: "Professor Bo."
Bo Xichen nodded slightly, looking at the phone in her hand: "Is it Anxi’s?"
Shen Wanqing nodded: "Yes, she dropped it in my room just now."
Bo Xichen took the phone and handed it to Gu Anxi, then prepared to leave with her. Shen Wanqing hurriedly said: "Professor Bo, I just... we’ve met before."
How could Bo Xichen forget her—just someone with a decent facade. He smiled faintly: "I remember, a student from Qing University."
Shen Wanqing paused, about to say something else, but Bo Xichen clearly didn’t want to talk much more. He lazily patted the little one on him: "Time to sleep."
Gu Anxi responded with an "Oh," leaning closer like a little puppy to sniff: "You’ve washed up."
He didn’t say anything, gave her a pat, and picked her up.
Just then, Ah Xiang arrived with an umbrella, giving Gu Anxi a look, to which Gu Anxi silently mouthed a few words, and Ah Xiang smiled happily.
Shen Wanqing turned to the side, her face a bit gloomy.
She was pregnant, standing at the Wang Family, wasn’t she standing high enough? Yet that gentle, elegant man still didn’t look at her.
She quietly watched the rainy night outside, watched Gu Anxi cling to that man’s back, watched as he held her with one hand and supported the umbrella with the other, while Gu Anxi only needed to hold tight.
That scene was moving, moving to the point where she wanted to destroy it with her own hands.
Ah Xiang turned around and saw her expression, rolled her eyes and said: "Miss Shen, it’s a bit wet outside, do you want to go back to your room to rest? It’s also getting late."
Shen Wanqing’s voice was slightly weary: "Okay."
When she returned, the Wang Family’s second sister-in-law was tidying up and getting ready to leave, smiling as she saw her: "Wanqing, you’re back. Look at this, I know young girls don’t like simple things, so I specifically found a set of pink four-piece bedding for you. See if you like it?"
Shen Wanqing went over and saw it was very high-end bedding. She touched it and thanked her.
The Wang Family’s second sister-in-law smiled happily: "What’s there to thank for? We’ll be family from now on. Go sleep, don’t wait for the eldest, the old man probably won’t let him out so soon."
Receiving her goodwill, Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but ask: "Will the old man accept me?"
"You’ve already moved in, asking this kind of silly question." The Wang Family’s second sister-in-law patted her hand: "Just keep your mind at ease, take good care of this pregnancy, and do well when giving birth. There’ll be nothing left to worry about. Although the elder is a bit of a philanderer, I see he’s genuinely interested in you."
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing was finally relieved. After a while, the second sister-in-law asked casually: "By the way, you know Xichen too?"
Shen Wanqing pressed her lips, saying with a bit of discomfort: "Professor Bo taught us when he taught at Qing University for two months."
The second sister-in-law made a sound of acknowledgment, "Is that so, that’s no surprise then."
She laughed again, seemed to chat casually: "How come Professor Bo didn’t take a liking to you back then? Although, Anxi’s looks are indeed more refined than yours, but you’re obedient and well-behaved. I thought large families like this would prefer obedient ones."
Shen Wanqing didn’t make a sound.
The second sister-in-law laughed again: "Did I say something wrong? Don’t take it to heart, the big brother cares for you now."

Over there, Gu Anxi was sprawled on Bo Xichen’s back, it was only 200 meters, but they took ten minutes because the little girl really wasn’t well-behaved.
She lay on his back, her small face close to his neck, warm and comfortable, with a faint scent of men’s cologne.
Bo Xichen also rather enjoyed this atmosphere, walking slowly, just draping her with a jacket to prevent her from catching a cold, chatting intermittently.
When they returned to the villa, she wasn’t wet, but Bo Xichen’s clothes were quite soaked, so he went to change his clothes.
When he came out, Gu Anxi was sprawled on the sofa, doing something unknown.
He went over and picked up her collar: "It’s late, time to sleep."
Gu Anxi whimpered, but pulled him down: "Not late anymore."
Her small face was slightly warm, and he immediately understood what she meant, lowered his head and leaned closer to her: "Tired?"
She hummed softly, hugging his lean waist, resting her small face nearby, then slightly sourly said: "If one day Shen Wanqing approaches you, what will you do?"
"Do what?" Bo Xichen lowered his head, pinching her small cheeks: "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Anxi continued to press her face close, saying softly: "My uncle and aunt have divorced, Shen Wanqing is pregnant and also living at grandpa’s, though I sense grandpa doesn’t want this child."
Indeed, how could the Wang Family allow a child from Shen Wanqing to remain; they would simply find someone to make the child disappear.
